Have debated putting a red dot on my knight muzzleloader and shooting patched balls for hunting in thick brush. Would the recoil be too much for the optic?
Recoil issues? Not if it is a quality optic from Trijicon, Aimpoint, Leupold, Holosun, etc.
I'm tossing around the idea of the holosun HS510 for one of my CVA's.
Read some reviews and decide on what size/type of dot you want, mounting height, etc.
